Chapter 12
In the next moment, Mackenzie turned on her phone
and tossed it at Emmanuel.
Emmanuel grabbed the phone, but before he could
read the information on the device, he heard
Mackenzie speaking to him in an irresistible tone. “Help
me expedite this project. It needs to bepleted
within a month!”
Baffled, he quickly read the content.
Terence Group requested Cloud Construction to build
arge-scale, strategic warehouse. The contract
involved one billion, and the deadline for the project
was the end of the month.
However, Cloud Construction informed Terence Group
two days ago that the project couldn’t bepleted in
time.
Confused, he asked, “Terence Group can recoup the
funds and demand fifty million from Cloud
Construction for breaking the contract if they can’t
to get it done?”
In response, Mackenzie smirked as a domineering and
resolute look entered her eyes. “If this warehouse can’t
bepleted in time, Terence Group will suffer an
obscene profit loss. It’s not something fifty million can
Emmanuel was stunned by that look of hers. No
wonder this woman is an executive in arge
corporation. She has an ambition that even a man
doesn’t have! Someone else would’ve been content
earning fifty million, but she wants even more profits! I
didn’t believe her in the past when she said she earns
three billion annually. But now, I think she’s telling the
truth. It’s a shame that the money she earns goes to
thepany, not her pocket. Otherwise, she would be
living in a mansion instead of a
two-hundred-square-foot apartment in a residential
area.
Chapter 12 Emmanuel Again
“You think too highly of me, Ms. Quillen.” Suddenly,
Emmanuel smiled. “If Terence Group’s employees in
charge of this project can’t solve this issue, why do you
think a mere gynecologist like me can pull it off?”
“Useless!” A sigh slipped out of Mackenzie’s mouth.
She wouldn’t have thought much of his response if
other men had told her that instead.
However, because he was her husband, he was a lot
more special in her eyes.
The project was very important, so as the CEO of
Terence Group, she couldn’t just watch it fail without
doing anything to save it.
Of course, she had sent many to urge Cloud
Construction toplete the project in time, but all
returned without sess.
Initially, she had already epted the fact that the
project was botched. However, when she saw
Emmanuel not even flinching despite suffering severe
injuries, she abruptly recalled how he faced five thugs
fearlessly and thought he was a tough nut. That was
why she had unrealistic expectations about him.
“Wait!” Emmanuel didn’t feel great seeing the
disappointment in Mackenzie’s eyes, so he offered, “I’ll
help you out, but if I seed, you must do one thing
for me in return.”
She turned to face the slightly agitated man and
grinned. I seem to have ignited his fighting spirit by
looking down on him.
“What is it?”
“You’ll have to return home with me to meet my
mother and sister as my wife,” he stated firmly. This is
my best chance to pull it off. If I miss this opportunity,
there’s no telling how long I’ll need to wait before she’s
willing to return home with me.
As she stared at him, her expression shifted multiple
In reality, she still hadn’t acknowledged the marriage.
In fact, she thought it would end at any moment, which
was why she didn’t want anyone else to get involved.
Otherwise, things would only be more
However, she didn’t think he would seed, so she
agreed.
Chapter
Again
Upon receiving her agreement, Emmanuel released a
sigh of relief. I’m so excited! I bet Mom’s worries will be
eased when she sees my wife.
Meanwhile, when Mni returned home, her mother
yapped at her again.
Melody was a woman who yed favorites as she
constantly badgered her daughter to go on blind
dates. Her goal was for her daughter to marry a
wealthy scion, obtain his betrothal gift, and help her
son marry a wife.
Therefore, when Mni told her Emmanuel had
returned the ten million, she reacted simrly to Mni.
On the other hand, Jacob was so furious that he tore
some hair off his head. How can anyone be that
stupid? I’m still waiting for my future brother-inw’s
betrothal gift so I can buy a house and a car!
“Don’t worry, Mom. Thepany has noted my worth
and promoted me to project supervisor!” To prevent
her mother from urging her to attend another blind
date, she quickly added, “Once Iplete the project,
I’ll earn an additional three hundred thousand as a

bonus! Maybe it’ll even help me get promoted again!”
She was the new project supervisor at Cloud
Construction.
However, her knowledge of thepany’s upper
echelons was stillcking because she had just been
promoted.
In reality, she was given the position because the
previous supervisor quit. They were unable to handle
the pressure of the job because Terence Group kept
urging them to finish the project, even though its
progress kept stagnating.
No one wanted the hot potato that was the project.
Hence, the higher-ups offered enticing rewards to find
a scapegoat.
Mni was gleeful about her promotion because she
waspletely unaware of all that.
Upon hearing what she said, Jacob leaped in joy.
“Really?” If she gives me her entire bonus, I’ll be able to
buy a decent car!
“Of course. In any case, you can count on me to take
care of your wedding.” Mni puffed her chest with
pride.
“You’re the best, Mni! I love you!”
“We’ll be counting on you, Mni,” said Melody.
Mni’s family had a lot of hopes for her.
During the night, Mni almost couldn’t sleep due to
her excitement whenever she thought about how
bright her future would be.
When she arrived at the office the next day, she
received an email from Terence Group inviting her to a
meeting at eight that night. It would be at the café
where she had her blind datest time.
Mni was puzzled by the location and time of the
meeting. Do they know I’m a beautiful woman, so they
want to use this opportunity to hit on me? Now that I
think about it, it’s possible. I’m aware many male
employees in thispany see me as their goddess.
With that thought in mind, she deliberately put on
heavy makeup after work. In the end, she appeared
prettier than how she looked when she went on that
blind date with Emmanuel.
Before leaving for the cafe, she adjusted her bra until
she was happy with her cleavage.
She was a crafty woman, thinking if the client
happened to be a somewhat influential man and she
could please him, she wouldn’t need to worry about
maintaining her position.
Who knows, if everything goes well, I might not even
need to worry about money for the rest of my life!
Excitedly, Mni arrived at the café once again.
After waiting at table eight for five minutes, she felt
slightly anxious because the other person hadn’t
arrived yet.
When she raised her head after checking her watch,
she had a sense of deja vu as there was Emmanuel
again,te just likest time.
He then sat before her with a smile.
What the heck is this situation? Stunned, Mni gazed
at him with wide eyes.
